Heya all.

Is it possible to turn a normal graphics card (i.e. GeForce3) with two display connectors (i.e. ADC & VGA) into a REAL dual head card...?

If yes, how would you do that. If not, why not, I mean where is the technical difference to a real dual head card? Firmware?

I believe if you have 2 Apple LCDs or something you can plug one into the ADC Connector and one with a DVI To ADC Connector in the DVI Port and you will have dual displays. Not positive though. Expensive way out though

Hey Jazzphone.

Nope. The GeForce3 tech specs sheet says that it not possible. I believe you will need a special hack if it is possible at all

Cheers
